I will be gone for 50 days (not on safari the whole time, but won't be able to return the rental) so the rental price seems very high. The VR II is not available used that I can see, so that may mean selling it used = good price since supply is so low. However, the new -->
used immediate value loss will hurt, whereas I can get the VR I used now. However, the VR I is a bit worse so if it's a close call I'd rather get the VR II.
